That sentence makes no sense. The statement "freedom to murder" means if i murder someone there is no system or government that would physically prevent me or cause me consequences.

By default (in the wild with no government or laws yet) we DO have the freedom to murder. The assertiont hat such an idea does even exist is non sensical. It is just that most humans agree that is a freedom that we should not permit, and thus the freedom is revoked.

Aside from rhetoric im not really sure what you're even saying.

No im not missing the point. You just proved mine. You decided which freedoms to support and which freedoms to deny based on non-agression. That is a fine line, I agree. Doesnt negate what I said however it agrees with it.

@a7

I am not defending anyone. Having respectful discourse with someone is not defending.

You sound like those liberals who call everyone a nazi the second they have a difference of opinion. Get over yourself with the melodrama already.

Anyway, I'm done with you. Bye

You have no choice but to remove freedoms. One person wants the freedom to live a life without being murdered, another wants the freedom to murder. You have to pick which freedom to grant.

ALL freedoms come at the expense of someone elses freedom. In the end we just need to decide which freedoms we care about more.

I never said it was a tragedy that your wasting time. Waste away. There are no shortage of people on the internet or in real life who are a waste of time and space. That is your right, its your time to waste.

Just dont be surprised when people recognize you provide no value and therefore treat you as a devalued person as a result. Again, your choice.

People who agree with him of course.

To an extent. If you are ruthless 9 times out of 10 you arent succeeding at anything, your just wasting your own time and others.

Well said, now this message I DO support.

@alexa@fedi.absturztau.be @a7 @snder

@a7

I dont "support this person".. having a respectful discourse with someone you disagree with is NOT support, it is civility.

@alexa@fedi.absturztau.be @snder

@a7

Oh wait.. snakes! That changes everything.. Holy shit!

I never demanded or insisted on anything. All I said is the only one behaving like a toddler having a temper tantrum here is you. Everyone else is acting very respectfully. You are acting in a way that does not earn my respect, that is all.

I demand nothing of you though. Go on being a disrespectful ass-hat if you wish. Thats the american dream after all. Just dont be surprised when me and the rest of the world call you out for it is all.

I've interacted with him before, not too much, but so far it has been entierly respectful. Far more than I've seen from you. But even you im willing to give the benefit of the doubt. Maybe you two had some past argument I didnt see that justifies your animosity.. who knows. But alli can do is judge both of you by how you act here and now. The only one i see not earning their respect is you.

@a7 @alexa@fedi.absturztau.be @snder

Clarifying his point is NOT moving ht egoal post. Stop trying to attack the person and attack the discussion. I will give him the benefit of the doubt that he was just unclear.

Regardless even if he did change his stance, so what? I completely respect anyone who can change their stance in the face of a counter argument. Probably the most respectful thing a person can do.

Ya know what isnt respectful. Refusing to change your stance or listen to others and respond to count arguments with name calling...

@alexa@fedi.absturztau.be @snder @a7

My apologies then.It sounded like you said the 2nd amendment was designed for malitias not individuals. Now you are saying that the 2nd amendment WAS intended for everyone not just militias?

@honigdachse
Well ifyou want to talk accidents instead od suicides, sure. Again if someone buys a gun they know the risks. They are making that choice and have ever right to work with dangerous things that put their life at risk if they want. That is hardly an argument agains tit any more than its an argument against making scuba diving illegal (a dangerous sport).

Now i would agree there is a concern if someone has a gun and is irresponsible putting OTHER people at risk. But thats simple, make such behavior illegal (as it already is. If someone, for example, points a gun at someone in a joking way (prone to accident) this is illegal and would cause someone to go to jail most likely.

Point is NONE of this is a valid argument against guns or anything else that causes accidents often.

@snder

@alexa@fedi.absturztau.be
No thats patently false. We have coutnless examples that clearly demonstrate the point of the 2nd amendment was for ALL people to own guns not JUST the militia. The militia are just one reason to justify it, among many. That argument is one that history can trivially debunk.

We can see that because guns from day one were upheld as an individual right and even the forefathers have countless quotes where they make it clear guns are the right for the people not just militia.

@snder @a7

@a7
You are correct, some dont. But no one in this conversation, other than you, fit that assertion. I may agree with your arguments but the way you speak and handle yourself are completely undeserving of respect. Everyone else however were completely respectful to you until you started being rude.

@alexa@fedi.absturztau.be @snder

@alexa@fedi.absturztau.be
Oh shit just saw a7's thread.. what a fucking shit show. I mean i partly agree with the dudes points. But my god have some fucking respect for the people you talk to. Just because you disagree is no excuse...

@snder @a7

@alexa@fedi.absturztau.be
I had to follow him so the thread would render correctly. Im seeing it now :)
